also....you could download the google toolbar and install that pop-up blocker. It does not block the analyze board window, and it works rather well.
This is what I did to eliminate internet annoyances which includes SpyWare. I would suggest this to anybody because I got the Sasser Worm on one of my old computers so I decided to up my security.
For those that don't know about the Sasser Worm, as soon as your turn on your computer, it shuts down and restarts your computer every 60 seconds.
I suggest you get the ultimate security browser, Mozilla Firefox at mozilla.org ; It's for free. Mozilla is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to eliminate internet annoyances.
And as for a SpyWare remover, get Spybot S&D. It's the best because of its also for free. I also had AdAware SE Personal but it didn't get everything like Spybot did.
Get ZoneAlarm, a firewall, at zonelabs.com ; ZoneAlarm is free but I bought the whole ZoneLabs Security Suite which comes with the firewall plus AntiVirus and Email Security.
My solution to end internet annoyances at no cost. 🙂

If you have not already got it. Then get either Mcafee or Nortons internet security.
It gives you a firewall as well as protection (but not against all). I run a virus/adware check everynight. When my daughter gets on I usually get a couple of adwares.
Also, look on the symantec website and look up each of the adwares you have. You will need to edit the registry to get rid of some of them. It's time consuming and you can screw your PC if not careful. So print the instructions and follow them carefully.
The tasks you describe are clons which run the adware programs. The entry to start them will be in the registry. When you check symantec.com against each adware program you may see these listed as possible tasks.
If you want a good check go to symantec.com click the bottom left item symantec security check under downloads. (works on all except Windows 2003). Perform a security check first. It will see if you have any back doors open. Then run the virus scanner. That will pick up any adwares the other programs have missed.
Feel free to ask for more info after that.
Good luck

I don't know why, but when i'm on this site, i get an inordinate amount of popup adverts. Many of these have been diallers and a few have been for porn sites. I am a paying member and should not be expose to this menace whilst trying to play chess.
Ps i have tried a pop up stopper but this prevents the 'analyse game' feature from working.
